Orange Township trustees plan to vote Monday on changes to a 107-acre residential development at 6525 Africa Rd.

The changes to M/I Homes’ planned Sanctuary and Enclave at the Lakes are needed because soil samples showed the existence of a 3.5-acre peat bog at the southeast corner of the property. No houses or infrastructure improvements can be put in that area, which will become green space.

In addition, the revisions before trustees include the elimination of a connector street between the new Sanctuary Drive and the existing Tralee Lane.

Jack Brickner, a representative of M/I Homes, said about 205 single-family homes will be built in Orange and Genoa townships, ranging in price from $380,000 to $450,000. M/I hopes to begin the first phase of construction this spring, he said.
